I guess high performance means different things to different people. Corvette is high performance. SSR with 400 HP might be high performance if it manages to break into 13's. SS is just mediocre performance. Is Dodge RAM high performance if it's got HEMI? A reg cab short bed RAM with HEMI will own SIlvy SS, yet it's just a regular truck. As someone said here already, 345 HP isn't bad at all, but to have the awe that GM expected, they should've released it in 1996.

 

wanna bet?? also, where did you get those numbers from?
